Guest Mr. Razzcocks Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Steve Zakuani Club: Seattle Sounders Name: Steve Zakuani Date Of Birth: 9th February 1988 Nationality: Congolese Position: Winger/Forward Steve Zakuani is a Congolese midfielder currently playing for Seattle Sounders. He was signed from his college team after scoring 20 goals in their season. Zakuani had played for Arsenal Youth Team for 5 years, which shows his class and ability. His strengths must be his pace and skill, which can be seen in the video below. My favourite part is between 3:00 and 3:08 as he easily beats two defenders, rounds the goalkeeper and then scores. The video as a whole shows a lot of his talent. Zakuani made his debut for Seattle against New York Red Bulls, where he came on as a substitute for Sanna Nyassi. Nine days later, he made his first start against Real Salt Lake. For Seattle's first goal, Zakuani skipped around the Salt Lake defence before setting up Nate Jaqua. Yesterdays game against Toronto saw Steve get another start; this time against Toronto. In the game, he scored his first goal and, as a result of his performances, has been highly praised. At the moment, he isn't on the database. I predict he will be added at 73. I know it will be tough at first to get his preferred position in the team due to Freddy Ljungberg and Sanna Nyassi, but I think his pace and energy will mean he gets more games.

Guest Mr. Razzcocks Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Re: Steve Zakuani. Steve Zakuani has been added at 74. It is early in the MLS season, so predicting ratings is very tricky, if not near impossible. I will be keeping track of his progress this season, and updates will be hopefully quite regular.

Insider 11,470 Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Re: Steve Zakuani. It's not that tricky to predict what's going to happen. Historically, first overall draft picks hae played a lot. When one impresses as much as Zakuani, he's pretty much garanteed to keep playing. Follow the Maurice EDU rule, and he'll be at 80 by the end of the season. Sick performance by him yesterday, he was the best playing on the pitch, scoring a goal and was absolutly everywhere. Thank you NBC for picking the right game Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He got a goal and an assist, and had a fantastic performance. I just hope he keeps it up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mr. Razzcocks Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Re: Steve Zakuani. He had a bit of a hissy fit at the weekend when he was taken off as a substitute. I hope he hasn't got a temperament problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
